Does anyone know if there are any festivals in the san stef area in the last two weeks in May?
We havent been for the last two years and cant remember when they are.
Just love that spit roast lamb :P

·Ionian Independence Day, May 21
After centuries of scattershot foreign rule, the Ionian islands once again became part of the country of Greece. Parades, festivals, and a solemn ceremony – often headed by the Greek Prime Minister – mark this milestone in Greek history.

Cheers for that
we just love the atmos at a festival, unmistakenly Greek ;D
-
I don't know what the festival was for other than it seemed a local one but we were in San Stef about 3 years ago when they held one. It was situated in the field by the tennis courts. There was a lamb/hog roast and live greek music and dancing. There was a bar and everyone, locals and holidaymakers were having a great time. It was either the last week of june or first in july. We have been at the same time for 9 years and only seen this once.

Yeh we were there for that one I can't remember what it was for I just remember all the dancing and the smell of that glorious lamb :P

Hi All
Yes I agree - Spit Roast Lamb in Corfu is the best - but will it be on ??
Hi Bob - looks like you will be there at the same time as us.
We are staying at the Thomas Bay this time - We hope to be eating at the Sunset on a Saturday Night for the Live music,
We will be with some friends Alan & Carole who also visit Stefanos a lot, if you are around - say hello.
I expect we'll also be in the Condor to watch Chelsea win the Euro-cup as well - (saw your other post!!).
Have a good one - are you travelling from Gatwick? - North Terminal now!!

Yes - I have - in Egypt - Linda wouldn't touch it!! - I liked it!!
-
I wouldnt be surprised if you eat more goat than you know ;)
-
roy always says funny how we always see plenty of goats but no sheep?
-
Can vouch for the wine festival at Arillas in September, be prepared to get plastered as it goes on for ages!!
-
When in September? We go on the 25th.

I think I saw sheep & cattle once - in the countryside - towards the south.
I have never seen sheep around the north of the island, I don't think this is sheep country somehow!!
I believe they must import most of the meat in Corfu!!

Bet you thought you were still in London until you saw a sheep and a cow. Must have been so scary for a city boy like you ::)
-
Never seen any sheep or cows. Seen lots of goats and chickens though.

Now Jules just because you've been to Stretford no need to show off!

You townies make me laugh :D :D :D

What exactly is a Townie then?
When I moved into this house 32 years ago, (extended it instead of moving), I was surrounded by green fields on 3 sides.
Then the Airport grew around me!!
My Father was raised in the countryside in Winfrith and Rural Essex, my Mum was born & raised in the countryside in Cornwall.
I however, was admittedly, born in a City-State - no countryside in the whole country!! - But from the age of 3 in rural England!!
Can anyone guess where in the world it was (my birthplace)??? - It used to be a British Colony!!
-
I live virtually in the High Peak, 2minutes down the road is glorious moors and peak district. Born a and bred a townie though in Nottingham.

Usually towards the front of September Don, last year we came back on the 18th-ish and it happened while we were there. Some headaches!!

Alternatively does anyone know if we visitors can have a tour of the Ionian Islands Brewery in Arilas. If so can we have free tastings?

Think she's still recovering from her blank fortnight last September. Rumour has it (well Glenn does) that she drank Corfu dry without even the help of a safety net. Just the torn fishnets. Now that's brave!
